Battery care
The battery is 100 % maintenance-free, i.e.,
the electrolyte will last for the life of the bat-
tery when the vehicle is operated in a tem-
perate climate. Your BMW center will be
happy to advise you on all questions con-
cerning the battery.
Charging battery
Only charge the battery in the vehicle via
the terminals in the engine compartment
with the engine off. Connections, refer to
Jump-starting on page210.
Battery switch
Before storing the vehicle for an extended
period of several weeks or more, slide the
battery switch located behind the trim
panel on the right side of the luggage com-
partment to OFF. This reduces the current
flow from the battery for the period during
which the vehicle remains parked. A mes-
sage appears in the Check Control. Please
take note of the supplementary information
provided on the Control Display.
Disposal
Have old batteries disposed of follow-
ing replacement at your BMW center
or bring them to a collection point. Maintain
the battery in an upright position for trans-
port and storage. Always secure the battery
to prevent it from tipping over during trans-
port.<
Power failure
Following a temporary power failure, e.g. in
the case of a flat battery, some equipment
is subject to restricted use and must be
reinitialized. Individual settings are also lost
and must be updated again:
>Seat, mirror and steering wheel memory
The positions must be stored again,
refer to page55
>Time and date
Must be updated again, refer to
page90
>Radio
Stations must be stored again, refer to
page 154
>Navigation system
The operability must be waited for, refer
to page130.
Fuses
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse,
and do not replace a defective fuse
with a substitute of another color or amper-
age rating, as this could lead to a circuit
overload, ultimately resulting in a fire in the
vehicle.<
Spare fuses are located on the fuse strip in
the glove compartment; plastic tweezers
can be found at the fuse holder in the lug-
gage compartment.
In glove compartment
Press the tab on the cover to the front, then
fold up the cover.

Comply with legal requirements requiring
you to carry a first-aid kit in the vehicle.<
Jump-starting
When your battery is discharged you can
use two jumper cables to start your vehicle
with power from the battery in a second
vehicle. You can also use the same method
to help start another vehicle. Use only
jumper cables with fully-insulated terminal
clamps.
To avoid the risk of potentially fatal
injury, always avoid all contact with
electrical components while the engine is running. Carefully adhere to the following
sequence, both to prevent damage to one
or both vehicles, and to guard against pos-
sible personal injury.<
Preparing
1.Check whether the battery of the other
vehicle has a voltage of 12 Volts and
approximately the same capacitance
in Ah. This information can be found on
the battery
2.Switch off the engine of the support
vehicle
3.Switch off any electrical systems and
components in both vehicles.
Ensure that no contact exists
between the bodywork on the two
vehicles, otherwise there is a danger of
short circuits.<
Connecting jumper cables
To avoid personal injury from sparks,
always observe this sequence when
connecting jumper cables.<
Your BMW is equipped with an auxiliary
terminal specifically designed for jump-
starting. It is located within the engine
compartment, refer to arrow 1 in the illus-
tration. The symbol + is embossed on the
cover.
1.Remove the cover of the BMW auxiliary
terminal for jump-starting
2.Connect one terminal clamp of the pos-
itive/+ jumper cable to the positive ter-
minal of the battery or an auxiliary termi-
